Translated by Bloodfalcon, Edited by Krayto
Surrounded by sohad seen this scene twice before First ti and this is the second time However, at that time, the commander-in-chief was Lu Bu, so he was free to do whatever he can and even express his eht now, he is the commander-in-chief, his every action andcity and his decision will be what determines the fate of these 8,000 troops
The ene the Urban Army and the Liu clan private soldiers, their forces only numbered 8,000 troops The Lu clan, Xu clan and Han clan also provided their private soldiers but their nu now only had 8,500 troops in his hand This is the first disadvantage that Liu Mang had
The second one is the size and condition of this Wancheng city This city is really big and worthy of its title as the capital of Lujiang However, due to its size it will be very difficult to send reinforceates is attacked
For the third disadvantage, the wall are in a bad state due to the battle with the nobles So Liu Mang had no choice to assign the Lu, Xu and Han clan’s private soldiers to repair the walls returning the nuain
If Liu Mang had 20,000 troops, he can repel therain and provisions, there are still a lot left inside the now ruined Adranary that was “hand-picked” by Lu Bu It still can feed 100,000 people with nor with only 8,000 troops had to withstand an assault of 100,000 troops Winning the battle with this kind of nurand strategy Liu Mang now is focusing on defense instead of attacking nobody can handle the pressure that Liu Mang felt right now
The only other thing that he needed was reinforce the city to the lastcity will be broken Once broken, Lu Bu’s arone and will be routed in aCounty to request for reinforceht now to favor Lu Bu’s arround warfare are not Lu Bu ar point focuses on naval units
“LIU MANG THE BUTCHER, SHOW YOUR FACE!!!” A scholar fro in order to do battle, and then he said “Liu Mang the butcher You are one of Han Dynasty clansovern the people with benevolence, but you colluded with the slave of three surnary wolf Lu Bu, occupied our city, killed our subjects and coreat sin Surrender now and I will make sure that Milord spares you!!! If you wait until our army breaks the city, your blood will be spilled in this city!!!” That scholar spoke those words in a confident tone, even without scripts
“Hahaha, surrender and ill be spared?! Is this scholar out of his ht in his heart Lu Bu’sarmy and Sun Ce army already afor him to surrender? Lu Bu’s arle one, including Liu Mang
Moreover, at Wancheng city, there are Zhou Tai and Zhou Cheng’s heads hanging which already started to decoeneral and Zhou Cheng is Zhou Yu’s relative and both of the So, one can see the en by Da Qiao’s “death”, this young scholar should know that they already past the point of reconcile
“What is your na asked this confident scholar his naood, able to speak every one of his “sins” in one breath, is able to speak about how Liu Mang should behaved and also able to say things that can be deciphered as “alas, reality is a cruel bitch to you, Liu Mang!!!” for staying with Lu Bu
“My nahness Prince of Shu, this Lu Su suggest for you to surrender!!! You already lost in nuer 8,000 troops, you will spill ain advises you to surrender and offer Wancheng city noill uarantees your safety and delivers you to Xu Du, so you can govern together along with His Majesty!!!”
“Lu Su?!” Liu Mang stunned He is a celebrity in Three Kingdo County in Linhuaiguan He is a very outstanding strategist and diplo after he was born, he has lost his father and was raised by his grand and tall, he is known for his straightforward comments and honesty He loves to study and an expert equestrian
When he cae at the years of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo, he saw that government officials were corrupt and chaos was everywhere, so he bore a big ambition in his heart to restore order He is also often went hosters in martial arts
One can see, that this Lu Su is a very respectable statesence is when Zhou Yu occupied Juchao County At that tirain and provisions, Lu Su took this initiative to donate and send 3,000-shi+ of grain and provisions to him From that moment, Zhou Yu and Lu Su became fast friends and often discussed i Liu Mang now, forcing Liu Mang to a dead-end Lu Su is truly worthy as an honest and straightforward person But all that Lu Su said was a way of no return If Liu Mang surrendered noill Sun Ce possibly not injure Liu Mang? Also regarding going to Xu Du, Cao Cao of Xu Du and Sun Ce of Jiangdong, both of the’s existence
No, without Liu Mang Cao Cao have already gotten Diaochan and possibly already killed Lu Bu Because of Liu Mang’s existence, he Cao Cao was al, no one would have insulted hi, it would have been impossible for his Ferocious Cavalry to be annihilated and his senior general Cao Chun and major Li Dian to die One can see Cao Cao’s hatred for Liu Mang is also very big
So, in other words To surrender is die, to not surrender is also die This Lu Su truly has a ways to s can only show off his title and rank again and responded to Lu Su “Lu Zijing, I want to ask you Whose subjects are you?!”
Liu Mang does not want to bully the honest and straightforward person but there is no choice The Liu clan’s private soldiers has been shaken by Lu Su’s words If we surrender, then they won’t have to go to battle Going to battle will claim their lives Moreover the number of enemies is too many, this kind of vieill make any person fluster
“Um?! What does this Prince of Shu want to say?” Lu Su’s brorinkled Although Lu Su is unable to discern his h these are the tih the Han Eurehead, they are still subjects of Han Dynasty
The 400 years of prestige of the Han Dynasty is not to be underestimated It is still upheld by all of the warlords and they are openly saying that they are the Han Dynasty subjects Only Yuan Shu, Yuan Gonglu was the one who violated this rule by proclai received the Imperial Seal froether and Yuan Shu can only suffer defeat after defeat after defeat and finally becoain, is your Wancheng city the capital of Lujiang Prefecture? Is this Lujiang Prefecture a part of Yang Province?!” Liu Mang asked again
“Yes!!!” Wancheng city fro Prefecture's capital and Lujiang Prefecture is one part of Yang Province
“Well said!!! Lu Su Lu Zijing, in case you have forgotten, this prince was given by His Majesty not only as Prince of Shu, but also General of the Southern Expedition!!! This prince's territory consists of Yang, Yu, Yi and Jing Provinces and you dare co city as your lord's territory? Also regardingthe people, are not those nobles also ht for me as the ruler to punish those evildoers by annihilation I a city is under overnor but when he saw this prince, not only did not kneel down but he also had intentions to kill this prince It is very apparent that Han Dynasty to your eyes, is already a big pile of trash!+”
With those words, the war between Lu Su and Liu Mang reached a stalehteousness in order for Liu Mang to surrender, but Liu Mang is accusing Lu Su and Jiangdong’s ar loyal Han subjects and he, Lu Su, is disrespecting the Han Dynasty Liu Mang also accused that Lu Su kept saying that this Wancheng city is theirs, it is questioning the Han E with title of General of the Southern Expedition And with Lu Su's lord dispatching troops to kill hiainst Han Dynasty
